Arkefly is an airline based in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It is the charter carrier of the Dutch arm of TUI and its main base is Amsterdam Schiphol Airport[1]. It carries out regular and chartered flights, although most of the chartered flights are operated for the Dutch tour operator Arke. It operates to destinations in the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Caribbean, Canary Islands, North Africa, Brazil and the Netherlands Antilles.
On December 14, 2006 TUI announced that all its airlines will be rebranded as TUIfly by 2008.[citation needed]

Arkefly traces its roots to Air Holland, which was founded in 1981. After financial problems Air Holland was taken over by the Exel Aviation Group and took a new start as HollandExel in March 2004. In May 2005 the Exel Aviation Group was declared bankrupt. The TUI Group took over the airline's activities and renamed it Arkefly. It is now wholly owned by the TUI Group. Its name was based on the largest Dutch tour operator, Arke, which is also a subsidiary of the TUI Group. The newly reorganized airline operated its first flight in September 2005.
The Arkefly fleet consists of the following aircraft:[citation needed]
- 3 Boeing 767-300ER
- 1 Boeing 767-300ER (leased to BMI until 05/2007)
- 1 Boeing 737-800 (leased from Futura Airlines until 09/2007)
- 1 Boeing 737-800 will join the fleet in 11/2007
The aircraft is divided in 3 classes: economy, comfort and business class. The fleet is recognisable by the light blue fuselage with the Arkefly letters and the red TUI logo on the tail.
